WASHINGTON Wherever I go, people ask me the same question: How can he? How can Kevin support President Trump? Why isnt he bothered by all the things others find appalling and frightening? Thanksgiving is here, so its time for my Republican brother to share his bounteous harvest of thoughts:
Every time I hear Neil Gorsuchs name, I smile.
It has been a year since Donald Trump was elected, and his thrill-a-minute White House is still causing acid reflux for half the country and all of the mainstream media. There is always a lot of background noise buzzing around the president and its catnip for his detractors.
Full disclosure: I am not a Trump disciple. His manners offend me and the tweeting is overdone, but I do admire his resiliency against an unrelenting and unfair press. His tweeting is annoying but it can be an effective defense. He has 43.2 million Twitter followers. The New York Times has 3.1 million subscribers.
Trump got into office because of Congresss inability or unwillingness to do its job. The voters were so fed up, they turned to a reality TV star instead of the 20 politicians on the menu. (Or 20.5 if you want to count Martin OMalley.)
Trump delivered on his promises to shake things up with a slew of executive orders undoing much of Barack Obamas burdensome regulations and, more important, started to reshape the lower courts decimated by Obamas appointments. The nomination of Judge Gorsuch to the Supreme Court may be his most lasting legacy.

Since the protagonist of the article was her Trump loving brother, I thought I’d give Mo a break this week.
Must be Ole Mo is lonely and seeking some attention to write such things.
Those things happen when you spend you nights alone hugging your slow gin.
You do realize she doesn’t look like that anymore.
“The elderly schoolgirls mellowing in her old age.”
Not so,she’s writing from her brother’s viewpoint.

The pictures haven’t aged a day.
Actually the excerpt isn’t too bad. This article is probably the fairest to come out of the NYTimes in a long time.
Neither does MD 2020
Dowd was right on that point. Trump was a real estate tycoon, but he never would have gotten much public recognition if that’s all he ever was. He was a gossip-page personality long before he was a TV star, and he used his public image perfectly to his advantage in politics.
Kims rockets may be able to reach only the West Coast, were probably all right until he can hit a red state.
And if she does die, they're not going to tell us about it. Opinions from the crypt
If we are going to restore the rule of law, Sonia Sotomayor & Elena Kagan should be removed, too.
That’s 6.
Agree, if he wins, the senate will be hard pressed to find the votes to not seat him. (They need a two thirds vote — when have they ever voted like that? And for the accusation of sexual misconduct 38 years ago? The senate probably has a dozen members worried that accusations about them for more severe actions in the recent past are about to fall. It would not help them in their case to not seat an individual voted in by a majority of the voters in his state. In fact it would encourage the senate to unseat them too. And for the sake of accusations? What about finding out the truth?
BTW, if they do an investigation and find the truth, then we can talk about what they should do. Not now, how many times do we need to find that accusations and good presentation do not mean that the accusations are valid.
30 replies on a MoDo thread and only one picture of KZJ so far? I’m bitterly disappointed.
and some stuff from the Roswell incident.
Moron...
Nor I! Keep on keeping on
MAGA!
turned to a reality TV star
Why do they keep using this description? He’s a real estate guy!
Thanks CaptainK. If that stupid ***** were my sister, I'd have A) not spent Thanksgiving with her, or B) cut her lying throat and ditched the carcasse in a dumpster. I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course.
A hat tip to Dowd for writing this.
If MAUREEN DOWD is willing to give her bother voice - even if it’s just once a year - she’s a better liberal than most... far better.
Thanks Maureen Dowd.
